Do I cook the peas in the stock first? Warm the stock with the peas and then add that to the blender? Thanks! This sounds like it will be a summer staple!

Hi Lynn - I'm so glad you're making this recipe - it is perfect for summer! Actually there's no need to warm the stock or peas before blending as this soup is served cold. Having said that, I do have a friend that heats it and serves it warm because that's her preference! Enjoy!

Turmeric is listed in the ingredients but thyme in the directions. Use both?

Such a beautiful colour and great flavours too, I love peas and we are in the middle of pea harvest right now so afternoons are spent podding peas, of course only half ever make it to the freezer as the rest end up in my belly.Reply
